| The finished resulting wire, party crowns. Shape these to fit any sized doll, both 18 and 14 inches. These tiaras are just as glittery as Marisol Luna's rhinestone tiara! |
This crown (also called a tiara) craft is so easy to make! All it requires is a bit of imagination and a few easy supplies.
Begin by bending metallic silver chenille stems into a series of arches.
Wrap the ends of the arches tightly down and around one long stem that will be the bottom half of your doll's party crown.
Supply List:
Supply List:

You can multiply the arches to make a smaller or larger party crown for either a eighteen or fourteen inch doll. I held the wire crowns up to my doll's head to measure the lengths and widths as I bent the chenille stems.

| Left, gems wired for the crown. Center, I bent the entire crown into a bit of a overall arch or curve. Right, now the gems have been added. |
Using a little beading wire, I strung and wrapped a few gems to the inside of my party crown design. I chose to use white but any color would be nice for a doll's crown.
